But all is not well in its depths, especially ; in the area of the main spike, which proves to be infinitely ; divided once we zoom in well beyond the surface. Today's scene ; lies on a filament in a small area of chaos at the edge of the ; divided stem. ; ; The rating of 7.5 is an honest estimate of the image's worth. ; The extra half point is a self-awarded bonus for the coloring. ; ; The name "Identical Twins" points to the most surprising feature ; of the image -- the two distinct minibrots at the center of the ; four-armed, starfish-like surrounding pattern. Unfortunately, ; the magnitude of the image is as great as we can go, at least ; with the Fractint program. The identical twin minibrots are ; beyond reasonable resolution. ; ; The calculation time of one short minute will pass quickly. The ; image may also be seen on the FOTD web sites. ; ; For a view of the image without the need of calculating it, ; check the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And enjoy the revealing high-definition rendering at: ; ; ; ; The classic FOTD web site with thousands of back images is ; online at: ; ; ; ; Blazing sun and a temperature of 93F 34C made it obvious that we ; are entering the hottest time of the year here at Fractal ; Central. The fractal cats agreed by finding the coolest places ; to stretch out in. The humans turned up the cool air and went ; about their work. Then, thinking of the heat, I wondered why ; 'liberals' and 'progressives' try so hard to convince everyone ; that climate change is real. Of course the climate is changing ; -- it's how the earth works. As long as I can remember, there ; have been heat waves in summer, but the summer heat never seemed ; as threatening as today's environmentalists are claiming. ; ; I guess the concerned worriers simply need something fresh to ; worry about. One would suppose the 'end-of-world' shows on TV ; would supply all the worry the worriers need. Anyway, the next ; FOTD will be posted before the earth heats to the boiling point ; . . . I hope. Until whenever, take care and before concerned ; environmentalists begin their worrying, they should make sure ; they are fully informed on the situation they are concerned ; about, and what if anything can be done. For example, a weather ; pattern that brings prolonged hot weather to the East Coast of ; the U.S. is not 'global'. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Identical_Twins { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMiN center-mag=-1.7482953881\ 52179/+0.00000022197569962/6.471309e+012/1/-5/0 params=2.0000001/0/0/0/0/0 maxiter=3600 logmap=218 inside=0 float=y periodicity=0 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000A00B00E10H25K3AN4FQ5KT6PW7U_8Yc9agAekB\ ioClsAotDpzGmyJitMeoLaiKYcKUYKQSKMMFIHAEC074042A92\ FI2KT2N`AP`JYXSfT`dVQbWFaY4kgLuqarXPpDCfCJXAQO9X0u\ c3bZ5KUCKd9BX842P9Of5jz_rgDcfTfZMaEFYA8UuI44yq5jj6\ Wc7HXBFrABj98c85XVx7PiCJVHDGM8S27L87FE78KEc_zvZZUU\ f3HAIE8AK5lW6`U6PT7DRO8TJ6SF5RB3Qt18A5G94K83N2`55J\ G6U87GHXB2K69Y_SRRRKJRDAQ0dWFUXCKU9BSbb9SQFHELDjDz\ tC`ZHMIMJCDJCDI87H52I92IC3JF4JI5JM6KP7KS8KV9NYEP`I\ ScMUfQX`UZlYaoacredqbep`fyZgoXhoVinSjnQjyOklMllKmk\ HnkFojDpjBqi9qi7py3r2rp6ooAlnEimIflMdkQajUZiYWhaUg\ eRfiOemLdpJeiLfcNgcPhcRicTjcUkcRkcOkcMkcJkcHkcElmB\ lm9lm6lm4lz2lz2nz2pz2qz2sz2tz2vz2wz2yz2zz2sz2lz6ez\ CZzITzNVzOWzPXzPYzQZzQ_zR`zRazSbzSczTdzTbzPazL_zHZ\ zDYz9Jz24z25z25z25z25z25z25z25z2Cz2Iz8PzEVzKfzKqzK\ DzFCzICzKCzMCzOBzRBzTBzVBzXCzTDzQEzMFzJGzFFzCKz8Pz\ 5Uz2Zz2cz2hz2mz9rzGwzNzzZ } frm:MandelbrotMiN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=(-z)^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
